I have a GeForce 6150 SE nforce 430 graphics card, my system is an emachine bought from walmart, a dual core 3.1 GH. I have tried using the updated drivers from Nvidia's website. But If I try using anything other than driver 197.45. In fact that number of driver was something that one of the GM's gave me when I reported the issue.

The game will crash when I open the costume change menu, and at times it will freeze up. The crashes I am experiencing are similar to what has happened in the past. Where players were having problems with Nvidia and Radeon up to date drivers.

What I want to know is how do you update an integrated driver. Is there a different website or a different part of the same Nvidia website that will have the correct drivers for that integrated graphics card? If it is not a graphics problem then do I need to make some changes in the properties of the NCSoft launcher? Are their things that I need to check mark , in the compatibility section in order to play City of Heroes/Villains with the new driver?

For that old of a chipset it's likely that you aren't going to get better results using any drivers that are newer than the 197.45 drivers.

That is a 7 year old low-end integrated chipset that was not designed for gaming. It was designed for basic computer usage such as opening text documents, spread sheets, etc.

A better solution would be to put an actual graphics card in the computer.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Also, if it's a cheap computer, you'll probably need a new power supply before you can get a new graphics card. Most graphics cards need at least 300W, most cheap power supplies are less than 200W.
